Clean and enjoyable place to unwind and workout. Staff is attentive and accommodating. The only thing I have a concern about is that the bike rack is located far away from the entrance and hidden to the side of the building. I have an e-bike and would like to park it there but with the temptation of the location of the back rack I can't help knowing it would be stolen. Could Management find a place within the facility to place the bike rack. Where it is located currently I have never seen one bike locked up there, "perhaps with reason".🧐

Body Works with Cyg and Zumba with Dina was above and beyond. Both these instructors better than any others at different locations. Five plus stars for Cyg and Dina!!!

Our office is under construction so I have been going in and out of this LA Fitness multiple times a day. Each time I go in, the staff is always kind and energetic, smiling and eager to talk. The bathrooms are ALWAYS neat and clean. I've never felt uncomfortable or had a bad experience in the 10 years I've had a membership. This LA Fitness isn't as busy as the other ones, so it feels more like a neighborhood close knit vibe. I love this gym and I'll keep coming back for as long as I can :)

Severely lack of properly ventilationThis LA FITNESS on Portola doesn’t get as busy as other ones, but goodness, this gym is hot… suffocatingly hot. It’s almost like working out in a mild to moderately heated sauna when this gym gets busy. I’ve been working out at different LA Fitness locations, and never had to step outside to prevent a potential asthma attack.This gym has potential! It is one of the better facilities in the Irvine / Lake Forest area that is not overcrowded.

Good location. Weekend hours should be longer. Closing at 8pm on Saturday and Sunday is too early. They should have standard 11pm closing time every day of the week.

I love this place. I’ve been a regular at this location for just over a year now. I love it here. There’s always staff cleaning to ensure the place is maintained and clean, but I have to give a shout-out to Zach. He’s a homie! He works the front desk a lot and I’ve gotten to know him a bit working out in there and he’s a super good dude. Everyone’s great and it’s the only gym I find myself coming back to

Opposed to other locations, this gym is more comfortable and appealing to a beginner like myself. Not many wanderers hanging around machines, you will definitely get a great 1-2 hour routine here. Avoid Tuesdays, uncertain if it's bring your "high-school" friends in day(?) But, you'll have some Goobers running around playing on machines... my opinion, they should be monitored more closely.

Gym looks newer compared to other LA Fitness gyms I've been to. The restroom is also well-maintained. Go workout here if you are close to Lake Forest

What a joke. No hot water.I go to check out the gym this morning which I’ve been paying for for a while and guess what? NO HOT WATER. Stay away. Why would you pay for a membership to a gym if they can’t even supply hot water. My recommendation is if you’re going to sign up here check the hot water supply first. I will be asking for my money back

Nice gym, convenient and close. Happy they aren't forcing the stupid mask rules. If you want to wear yours go ahead. Other than that has the equipment needed, it's clean and has exactly what I need to get my workout in. Wish the hours were different for weekends though.
